Jason Thompson’s Summary

A valuable asset to any organization, my diverse background and experience allows me to build strong relationships within the organization, become a subject-matter expert and produce results.

As a software engineer, I managed the development, deployment, and maintenance of a world-class CRM solution deployed to a global user base of 1200+ active users. As a web analytics consultant I was routinely called upon as a “turnaround specialist”, trusted to recover extremely difficult projects.
